PAWTUCKET — Daniel Nava delivered the go-ahead RBI single in the seventh inning and Alex Wilson retired all five batters he faced to finish the game as the Pawtucket Red Sox defeated the Indianapolis Indians, 3-2, on Sunday to earn a split in the four-game series.

Allen Webster turned in his third consecutive quality start for Pawtucket but was not involved in the decision for the PawSox (18-13).

Nava’s game-winning hit came against Indians reliever Cody Eppley (0-1) following a leadoff double by Ryan Roberts. Roberts had also singled and scored in the sixth against starter Jay Jackson when Garin Cecchini singled him home to snap a 1-1 tie.

Webster allowed two runs, each earned on seven hits and 62/3 innings pitched. It was the longest outing of the season for a PawSox hurler, but ended on a tough note when Chris Dickerson’s two-out RBI single against the right-hander tied the score at in the seventh.

Chris Hernandez (1-2) recorded the final out in the seventh and then the first out in the eighth to earn his first victory of the season.
